Adventure music for me is light and joyful, as in going on an Adventure should be fun, at least that's how I feel about it, dark music wouldn't give me that feeling, but I guess it's personal   

yes light and joyful music as you hack your way through the bodies of hoards of orcs in a dungeon filled with the tortured dead.

yep, makes perfect sense.

This is the intro music for a trailer trying to get us interested in Adventuring again, not ingame music, so yeah it makes sense

This will definitely be a good test of real world Switch performance as so many versions of Skyrim to compare and allthough old a very ambitious game of its day.

Being on a lot of systems doesn't necessarily mean it's a good example of the power of each one though. Bayonetta 1 is on five platforms if we include Xbone backwards compatibility, yet the notorious PS3 version isn't the best benchmark of that system's capabilities.

We'll see for how many weeks the game is unplayable due to the bugs adding those three things caused.

Oh my, that's an interesting presentation. But it's not very good. I'd say it's terrible, the music is a ridiculously poor fit for this game and setting. Who the hell greenlit this trailer? There are plenty of other, great ways to present even an aging port. And those Amiibo and Zelda sound effects as well, it's like the only way to sell games to Nintendo fans is to include Nintendo stuff in the games themselves, at least according to Nintendo themselves, I think they're underestimating their fans' breadth in game preferences here, to be honest. It's like those parents who keep peeling their child's potatoes long after they learn how to do it themselves, because the "like when I do it for them".

Or maybe they are just highlighting what makes a difference between this port of a 5 years old game over the others, maybe.

Damn't, I can't believe I am going to play an Elder Scrolls game on a console, but the motion controls sold me.

Yes - waiting for those sales to see if feasible to port anything else... so stupid!



Switch!!!

Damn it Bethesda, make a TES VI instead of this crap. It's been 6 years.

And those differences are both trivial and serve to perpetuate myths about the Nintendo fanbase. And, seriously, even you have to agree that the choice of music is downright terrible, it would fit something little Little Big Planet at best.

Heh, disagree about portability and motion controls being trivial. They focused on that because, actually, that's what makes Switch version different from the rest. Not a fan about the choice of music, I'll give you that.
